Such a great horror film, its really refreshing to see a new unique horror film so I really liked this film. The Grabber was chilling and super intimidating, Finney was an amazing protagonist, and this film was super grounded yet impactful and scary. The cinematography was excellent, the visuals were nice, and the story was well done. I liked the side plot with Finney’s sister and it’s pretty interesting how dreams can be supernatural in this universe. This has made me really excited for Black Phone 2, and I can’t wait to see more of Finney and The Grabber. 8/10

The film is praised for its suspenseful and emotionally impactful narrative, strong performances, especially by the younger actors, and its blend of supernatural elements with a realistic 1970s setting. However, some find the horror elements like jump scares a bit predictable, and the backstory of the antagonist underdeveloped.

C’était pas mal, j’aime beaucoup la mécanique de souvenirs/rêves… J’ai eu un peu de mal à me mettre dedans le début est un poil lent à mon goût mais j’ai bien été surprise !

Scénario bien ficelé
J’adore ce genre de film
So good
a good survival one too but got slow since he was stuck in only one room
Je le recommande ! L'intrigue est bonne et accrochante . Il ne fait très peur , juste quelque jumpscare par-ci par-là. J'ai beaucoup apprécié le mélange entre réalité et fiction!
